Come join the New England Randonneurs for our early season warm-up ride. The 100k is a RUSA Populaire — a RUSA brevet shorter then 200k. If you’re considering riding additional brevets, the this ride will give you a feel of what’s to come. The route travels though the scenic western suburbs on a surprisingly hilly route. The ride isn’t arrowed so it’s a good chance to brush up on your cue sheet reading skills. Shortly after the control is Cumby’s ice cream and further down the road is the Harvard General Store if you’re looking for a break.

GPS Note: Justin Brooke was kind enough to create a GPX file and he notes: I’ve noticed that with my version of City Navigator (version 8), the waypoints don’t route properly just before entering Sterling — taking the Left onto Route 12 seems to just not compute, and the routing tells you to instead take a right, followed by an eventual U-Turn. User beware, I guess.
